Project Coordinator, Project Close-Out and Transition – Canadian Tire – Toronto, ON

Canadian Tire Corporation is one of Canada’s most recognized retail companies, and they’re looking for a Project Coordinator, Project Close-Out and Transition to join their Real Estate and Store Operations team in Toronto, Ontario. This is an 18-month contract role that sits at the intersection of construction, design, and operations — a solid fit for someone with hands-on project coordination experience who thrives when bringing complex builds across the finish line.

This position focuses on managing the critical final phases of construction and real estate projects — from tracking deficiencies and warranty items to ensuring a smooth handover to operational teams. You’ll work closely with Dealers, Project Teams, and Asset Managers to keep everything organized and on schedule during those demanding close-out and transition periods.

Day-to-day, you’ll be providing administrative and operational support to the Director of Real Estate Integration while leading project coordination efforts that ensure construction sites move cleanly into operational readiness.

It’s a role that demands both precision and the ability to juggle multiple moving parts simultaneously.

You’ll also be the connecting thread between internal Store Planning and Construction teams and external stakeholders, cultivating strong relationships to resolve outstanding items efficiently. Keeping project documentation accurate and well-organized will be central to your work, as will following up on deficiencies to ensure they’re resolved in a timely manner.

Responsibilities

This role is built around keeping real estate and construction projects on track through their most critical phases — close-out and transition. You’ll be expected to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously, from contract administration to deficiency resolution, while maintaining clear and organized project records that keep everyone aligned.
